Meet the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crews

Kelly and Collins Bishop, Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew

For the better part of a decade, Kelly and Collins have called Chattanooga, Tennessee, home. In that time, they've seen their little town become one of the Southeast's mountain bike epicenters. Not only that, they've played lead roles in developing the area's riding opportunities. Both have served in various capacities for SORBA-Chattanooga, most notably as Program Directors. Also, Kelly has developed a wildly successful women's cycling program through Scenic City Velo club, called Krystal Chiks. Besides their extensive activity with local advocacy, Kelly and Collins both have honed their professional skills with significant experiences in the bicycle industry and in the corporate world. We're happy to have convinced them to take off their monkey suits and hit the road with the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program.

Anna Laxague and Jason Wells

Anna Laxague and Jason Wells hail from the Pacific Northwest (Laxague is from Truckee, CA and Wells is from Port Angeles, WA). They bring a unique combination of professional experience to the program - both have worked as school teachers and as guides in a variety of outdoor endeavors including mountain biking, climbing, kayaking and rafting. They're also committed volunteers who have logged hundreds of hours building trails and performing outreach work with a host of public agencies. They worked as a team running a kayaking school in Hood River, OR, and will hopefully find some time to paddle a few rivers on their way around the country, in addition to riding as many trails as possible.
